KILLED BY a CRANK.
A Prominent Citizen of Washington
ASsassnated.


The brutal and wanton murder Of q
prominent citizen of Washington occurred
the other morning, in front of the Riggs
bank. AS Joseph c. Kennedy left hi, real
estate Office, Immediately adjoining the
bank. and wa ked toward a letter box, he
was followed by John Daily. AS he posted
the letter Mr.. Kennedy turned, whereupon
DAILY plunged case knife TO the hilt in the
left side OF the abdomen of the aged man.
The stri cken one fell to the sidewalk gasp
ing. the blood gushing from the cut. A
doctor who was driving by jumped out
and pronounced the wound fatal kenne-
dy died in a few minutes. The murderer
stood calmly gazing at his bloody knife as
bystander caught hold of him. DAILY
was soon taken in charge by an officer
He was discharged from the work-house n
few hours before the murder. and Is said
TO he demented. He hung around his vic
TINS Office all the afternoon evidently
waiting for him.
At the police station Daily made n ram
bling statement saying the dead man had
swindled him out OF some money in real
estate transaction. The only possible
basis for this statement, SO far as can be
learned Is that number of years
ago Daily's father was in the employ of
Mr. Kennedy who gave him piece of
property which he afterwards bought
back. The dread event can probable be
set down as another case Of Guiteauism.
No man was better or more favorably
known at the national capital, and his adj
vice i'm public as well a private matters
was largely sought for 10y the very best
citizens. Although so well advanced in
years Mr.. Kennedy was actively engaged
in business pursuits and fairly possessed
of all mental and physical qualities lie
was extremely benevolent His terrible
death has greatly shocked the community,
and no fatality since the assassination OF
President Garfield has occasioned greater
excitement
